Indian-German Climber and Nepalese Sherpa Die in Mount Manaslu Avalanche
An Indian-German climber, Dhruva Jyoti Guha, and his Nepalese Sherpa guide, Fursemba Sherpa, died after an avalanche struck their tent at Camp 3 on Mount Manaslu, Nepal. Despite adverse weather, they advanced from Camp 2 while six other climbers retreated safely. Their bodies were found buried under about seven feet of snow. Rescue efforts were delayed due to heavy snowfall, with plans to airlift the bodies to Kathmandu when conditions improve. These deaths raise the season's fatalities on Manaslu to four.
